ULB GOOD NEWS!

Post by barr7430 » Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:35 pm

Dear All,

have finally got a quote from a reputable printer with experience of doing wargames rules and as far as I am concerned it is a goer!! :D

Clarence and I will do the final formatting/editing and then it's over to production. I think the lead time from completion of master to print will be about 5 weeks. It might not make Christmas but it will definitely make a late January release.

Thank God for that!

great news Barry :D

Will those same printers be distributing the rules for you or will you be selling direct yourself :?:

I hope to be doing the whole thing Stuart. The site is getting a makeover soon with a shop and that kind of stuff but even if people can't buy direct in the short term I can still mail the stuff and payment can be taken by paypal or cheque. Having self finanaced it all the way so far I don't see any point in getting involved in a publishing arrangement now. Some of these guys want 50-80% of cover price just for stocking :shock:

I will talk to three or four manufacturers / traders about taking range related adverts over the next couple of weeks. Some of our favourites have already expressed an interest :D

Need to talk to Clarence about the final touches but it is all more or less done including the new photos.

I'll be uploading a taster of the new rules into the WARCHEST over the next couple of days :D

Barry,

That's very good news. Hopefully there will be some way to get copies to Canada without having to pay a fortune for shipping.

Indeed :oops:

We had a problem uploading the pdf and I think when Stuart debugged he had mixed ULB up with some of his own Judo club stuff!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am certain it will get sorted out later today..
Thanks for that Hawkeye O'Brien :wink:

Barry;

I think that we've moved from Judo to WWII. I get a link to Kampfegruppe Falk when I click on the ULB Taster link in "What's New." Is anyone else getting this result? Thanks.

Barry,

Please disregard the last post. I found the taster under the "Rules" section. Great stuff.

Excellent news :D. The taster looks really good, I was really aggrieved to get to the end and realise I was going to have to wait until I had a copy in my hands before I could read it all!

Any rough idea as to the selling price yet?
